Stations over. Went well. Took a little long but I don't mind that. The important thing is nobody got hurt and there wasn't any chaos. The reason why it took so long is because one of the winches was not working. We have 6 ropes to tie up and unfortunately the port side winch was busted so we had to heave up all 6 ropes with just one winch. To compound the problem we went port side alongside so all the ropes had to be passed from the port side to the starboard side winch.
Just glad its over. Had a bit of a moment when the Chinese mooring gang got sick of us taking so long and refused to pass our last spring. But, like I said all's well that ends well!
FYI: A mooring winch is what we use to heave up the ropes to tie the ship.

So for all of you that wonder what lies between the devil and the deep blue sea, here's your chance to find out.
